That sounds like it will be one sweet bike !!!!! For those debating about the 40/26 chainring choice, you seem to miss the part about Liesl's rear hub choice : A Phil Rivy . That is a freewheel hub. Likely she will be using a 13t low cog, maybe a 12t if she has them. I could totally see having a 80 inch top gear being just fine, it depends on the rider !
Even on my Bombadil, with a 24/36/48 , I ride in the 36t using a 13-32 7sp. FW most of the time. I could , if I had to .... even use the 36t only, especially if I did not live in the hilly terrain I do ! As far as brakes,while I'm one for "old school" post style cantilevers, I'd say get some polished silver Pauls. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
